Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Monday, July 25, 2016 - Bruno Rocca visit with Francesco Rocca (Rabajà, Barbaresco): Served blind. Compact aromatics (but Francesco said later it had only been bottled 10 days earlier), but with some nice spices and some dark fruited opulence emerging. On palate, Rabajà markers. Initially almost sweet, fine dark fruit, quite silky. Then more dense on the mid palate with savoury nuances and lots of power. Again it's quite steely and closed, with a serious tannic architecture, albeit suave and ultra fine grained tannins. I slightly preferred the acids of the 2014 over the 2013, but this is an excellent Rabajà. I'd give it 5+ years in the cellar.
